New Update AOMEI Backupper - Update Thread

I used AOMEI for quite some time (lifetime licences) but I had continual problems with restoring & it created several unwanted partitions while doing to so in the end I stopped using it & reverted to Macrium Reflect, that may have changed but it seemed for a while AOMEI didn't totally understand what they were doing - Just my experience that may well have changed? Interested as to have users find it now?

EDIT: I wonder if my lifetime codes still work, just dug them out :rolleyes:

I've had the exact same experience with AOMEI. Such a weird product. I've been using Macrium Reflect for free due to / you know what / for years, never ever had any issues whatsoever. It's a great product

i am using it with update 8 and it works like a charm. i like the created bootable environment before booting Windows to select. this very good option instead to dedicate USB for recovery environment

They still support the free edition ?? As per their FAQ, they have only a free trial, not a free version :unsure::unsure:?

I bought a new desktop computer. I uninstalled the AOMEI Backup Lifetime program that was installed on my laptop. I wanted to activate it on my desktop. However, it wouldn't accept it, saying the license was already in use. Since I couldn't activate it, I asked the support team for help. They provided me with a new free lifetime license even though I didn't request it. I now have separate licenses for both computers.
They are very helpful when there is a problem with the product.

Aomei uses a different type of registration now days. The registration codes no longer go into the registry.
They keep it on their computers. Over the years they have always got me back up and running.
Usually they just deleted the code from their computers and I could use my original to activate.
They have never given me another key.
